APPROACH MODE
NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid VOR or LOC signal or active
FMS course for the flight director to enter Approach Mode.
VOR Approach Mode
Selecting VOR Approach Mode:
1) Ensure a valid VOR frequency is tuned.
2) Ensure that VOR is the selected navigation source (press the Active NAV Softkey to cycle
through navigation sources if necessary).
3) Press the APR Key.
GPS Approach Mode
Selecting GPS Approach Mode without a Glidepath:
1) Ensure an RNAV approach is loaded into the active flight plan. The active waypoint must
be part of the flight plan (cannot be a direct-to a waypoint not in the flight plan).
2) Ensure that GPS is the selected navigation source (press the Active NAV Softkey to cycle
through navigation sources if necessary).
3) Press the NAV Key.
WARNING: Do not rely on the autopilot to level the aircraft at the MDA/DH when
flying a coupled approach with GP or GS modes active. The autopilot will not level
the aircraft at the MDA/DH even if the MDA/DH is set in the altitude preselect.
Selecting GPS Approach Mode with a Glidepath:
1) Ensure an RNAV approach with vertical guidance (LPV, LNAV/VNAV, LP+V, LNAV+V) is
loaded into the active flight plan. The active waypoint must be part of the flight plan
(cannot be a direct-to a waypoint not in the flight plan).
2) Ensure that GPS is the selected navigation source (press the Active NAV Softkey to cycle
through navigation sources if necessary).
3) Press the APR Key.
